primary schools concert

How fast time flies.
I was at town hall today while waiting for some friends. I saw primary school kids streaming from the side doors of the hall at around 4:30. Purple t-shirts with goose pictures at the front, black pants, black shoes. Kids waiting for their parents to take them around the city, in the time between practice and the actual performance. Others running around the courtyard, supervised by teachers.

I can still remember when I was in year 6, and Mrs Owen and Mrs Allen took us to the primary schools choral concert. Haha I still have the booklet in the cabinet next to the piano, and I can still remember how to sing most of the songs. Funny how there are some memories of your childhood that you remember so vividly, and others that you totally forget. This was one of those memorable moments.

From today, I'll stand a little taller. From today, I'll lift my chin and smile. Every doubt will disappear, every fear swept away. And I'll face tomorrow, from today

feeling so blessed for my family and the friends that I have
thanks

Then joy unspeakable will flood my soul,
For I am truly home

Pixar didn't disappoint. Toy Story 3 was great.
Went to strathfield yesterday, and the ticketing officer somehow heard Ashfield instead. Ended up with a return ticket to Ashfield.
Luckily it was only two stations apart.

It's been three weeks into the holidays.
One week was spent at Meroo on a five day conference along with christian groups from UTS, UWS and Wollongong. We focused on the cross of Christ and remembered what Christ has done for us. Summing up what I was reminded of.

We have all sinned by rebelling against God.
We've chosen to live life our own way without the need for God.
The gravity of sin is enormous, and our due punishment is facing the wrath of God.
What is facing the wrath of God like?
Imagine pitch darkness, no sun, sickness, every good thing you've ever known gone. For every good thing comes from God, and in that place, God won't be there.
What struck me most was that this world is already a glimpse of what hell is like. But it is only partial, because God's goodness is still here.
This is the outcome for anyone who has not placed their trust in Jesus.
For while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. God took his wrath onto himself, not because of us, but because of his name's sake. Because he is love, that we may be forgiven and can live with Him. There is nothing that you need to do to be forgiven by God. Because you have already been forgiven, if you acknowledge your sin and believe that Jesus has died and taken your punishment on the cross.

Spent another week of the holidays packing up notes from first semester. Watched Karate Kid as well. It was an alright movie, lots of kung fu. I didn't think it should be rated PG though, there were a lot of little kids in the cinema when we were watching.
I've only ever heard good things about Toy Story 3. Shall be watching it soon before uni starts.

The Muscles of the Hand Song

Can't belive they made it into a song. Some light relief for the anatomy exam coming up xD

Spotlight

So we were playing spotlight during growth groups, where we took turns asking one person questions, and she had to answer as many as she could in 1 minute.
It turned out to be quite funny.
The usual favourites came up, like where've you been outside Australia? or what's your favourite colour?

And Then someone asked
So when you were young, what did you want to be when you grew up?

A fish !

Hahaha cracked up for a long time.

Semester's ending. Can't wait for stuvac.
